On the eve of Akshaya Tritiya, the Madhya Pradesh government had proudly announced the results of its anti-child marriage efforts in the form of an impressive decline of 87 per cent in child marriages during the last decade.
While the decline did happen — the State brought down incidence of child marriage from 25 per cent in 2001 to 3.3 per cent in 2010 — reports from Rajgarh district tell a different story.
Sixty children of the Gujjar community were reportedly married on Akshaya Tritiya in the Pachore block of Rajgarh, a frontier district bordering Rajasthan.
The mass marriage programme was reported by a popular Hindi daily, along with photographs.
"Sixty children, aged 3 to 15, were married at a day-long function in Mathania village near Pachore on Friday," reported the newspaper.
However, the authorities claim the event "couldn't have taken place."
"We were very vigilant the whole week, and all marriages in the district were conducted strictly according to the law. This was done through age certificates and medical check-ups of the participants," Rajgarh Collector M.B. Ojha told The Hindu.
"However, if some people still managed to evade the law, we will make sure they don't get away with this. We are probing the issue and will take action if the allegations are found to be true," said Mr. Ojha.
Keywords: Madhya Pradesh, children marriage, child marriage

You know it is funny. I have not been able to work for a few weeks now because of my knee. I have a zero weight bearing requirement. I never realized how much exercise I get when I can do my job. I am a Medical Assistant so I walk nonstop 10 hours a day. Even though it is just in the office and I don't walk that far, I walked and it was exercise. I am getting nothing now and really missing the time I could get that walk in.
We never really appreciate the things we have or can do until we don't have it anymore. I really can't wait until I can walk and get outside and add to my exercise regimen. Think of all the people who can't ever walk. We take things for granted until we are faced with it being taken away from us. Get out and walk and remember to stop and smell those roses. (when they come up) You never know when the right to walk will be taken from you~
We can do this if we take it day by day and step by step~

Tina, I'm so sorry you're going though this. I think it is easy for most people to forget what they have and only look at what they don't have. 11 years ago I broke my knee cap and tore the ligament that runs behind your knee and was down for 6 weeks. I was miserable. Thank you for the reminder of how much I really have going for me right now.
Does the doctor have any idea what your heal time will be? Will you need to go to PT next?
Good luck! I hope you heal much faster than expected!

Sheryl, I have 2 tears in my meniscus and a small fracture below the knee. Doc can't do surgery until the fracture is healed and hoping it is healed by 2/21, that is surgery day. Down for 3 weeks I hope is all after surgery and then light duty after. I'm sure PT will be in there somewhere, just not sure when.

Hope the surgery can be done on schedule, goes well and heals quickly. As you obviously know, most big calorie burning exercises require your legs.
That is one of my motivating factors for losing weight now. I'm afraid if I don't that I will end up with damaged knees and it will be even harder to lose weight later. I can already tell a difference in my knees. The right one would hurt every now and then. It hasn't bothered me for over a month now.

Round, I am glad your progress has allowed you to not have pain. I wish I could say that all of my problems with my knee was my weight but it is not. I have horrible arthritis hereditary from my father, (he just had knee replacement 7 days before Christmas on the same knee I am having problems with) I turned one day and tore the meniscus and then not knowing what was wrong I walked on it for 6 weeks. I agree with you on the motivation aspect. I firmly believe that I will never take walking for granted again. Once I am able to walk again, I am going to do it everyday rain or shine. Tell your wife I said Hello~

Tina good luck with your surgery...what a bummer! I, like my DH, have been walking A LOT more and my knees have been better so I'm very lucky to not have it go the other way. I especially thought maybe it would, since I fell on my right knee last year sometime and have been having problems with it ever since. At our weight you don't want to be falling on your knees that's for sure! It hurt...really bad, but then it got better, until I gained more weight...then it really started hurting again
I think getting 30 lbs off me has helped a great deal! I pray that your recovery goes by quick and that you can get back to your normal activities soon!

Earlier this month, while I was returning from my school in the school bus, I saw dark grey clouds in the sky and the air was becoming cool.
A strong wind started to blow and leaves lying on the road were flying. Some trees were swaying in the breeze and shedding yellow leaves. Suddenly, dust flew in through the window and I had to close my eyes immediately.
After a minute or two, a soft drizzle began and I was busy brushing the dust from my face and my shirt. The window was still open and few drops of rain came in through it. I didn't bother about it, but after ten minutes or so, when the bus came to a halt, it began raining pretty heavily.
I shut the window close as I may catch cold, I thought. A thunderous sound of crashing clouds frightened me and I screamed with fear. I had never heard such a loud noise in my life.
Now, it was raining very heavily like it had never before. Every now and then, the bus would halt due to heavy traffic. It would take another half an hour or more to reach home, I estimated.
Every time the bus stopped, I grew more anxious. I could now see lightning and hear thunder more frequently. People on the streets were standing under shelters. They couldn't reach their destinations because of the rain.
Many of them were walking quickly holding umbrellas. That reminded me that I had not brought my umbrella with me. Another worry!
Ten minutes later, and it was time for me to get off. I got out from the bus and immediately stood under a tree for shelter.
It was still raining heavily and did not seem as if it would cease any time.
I was waiting impatiently to cross the road. When I saw no vehicle on the left side and a distant car on the right, I crossed the road and rushed home.
My mother was waiting for me at the gate. Just as I entered the house, my mom scolded me for not taking the umbrella.
"Now quickly go upstairs and clean yourself," she said.
I obeyed, and hurried upstairs and had a bath. I had not noticed, but by then it had stopped raining.
When I went to the veranda to hang out my towel, I realised that it was no longer raining, and the sun was now shining brightly.
"But how?" I wondered.
Just as I was turning, I thought I spotted something. A gorgeous rainbow. Its vivid colours were too irresistible to take the eyes away from.
"Wow!" I exclaimed in joy.

LUDLOW – The town's Smart Growth Zoning Advisory Committee and the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission heard feedback Monday night on four proposed smart growth zoning districts for the town.
Chapter 40R Smart Growth zoning districts which can be adopted by communities encourage a higher concentration of housing and mixed-use commercial and industrial developments in areas with existing infrastructure to create a range of affordable housing options and spur community revitalization.
Communities that adopt Smart Growth zoning districts are eligible to receive state reimbursements.
Established in 2009, a Smart Growth Zoning Advisory Committee has identified four locations for Smart Growth zoning districts in Ludlow.
They are the Ludlow Mills, an adjacent Riverside area just over the Ludlow-Indian Orchard Bridge, an area off East Street referred to as downtown and the intersection of Holyoke and West streets known as Scott's Corner.
Selectman Aaron Saunders said at an informational hearing on Monday that he considers it difficult to justify a Smart Growth zoning overlay district except for the Ludlow Mills site which Westmass Area Development Corp. is proposing to redevelop for industrial and commercial use.
Part of the redevelopment would include about 100 housing for the elderly units, Westmass President Kenneth W. Delude said.
Delude said Westmass is planning to bring a zoning proposal for the redevelopment of the Ludlow Mills before the annual Town Meeting in May.
Jayne Armington of the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission said the Smart Growth Zoning Advisory Committee may also try to bring a Chapter 40R Smart Growth zoning bylaw before the annual Town Meeting in May for approval which would allow the town to receive some financial incentives for creating the new zone which permits mixed use commercial, industrial and housing development.
Ludlow as well as other communities in the state has a lack of affordable housing which higher density Smart Growth zoning proposals would help to remedy, Armington said.
She said a zoning proposal will be developed and further hearings held on it prior to the annual Town Meeting in May.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — A federal judge revoked the bonds Monday of two Amish men convicted in a series of beard- and hair-cutting attacks, and ordered them to report to jail by Friday.
But U.S. District Judge Dan Aaron Polster allowed seven other defendants in the hate-crimes case to remain free on bond pending sentencing on Jan. 24.
In a three-page order, Polster said he considered the arguments that jailing the seven would cause their families extreme financial hardships, preventing them from harvesting crops and potentially forcing their children to go hungry this winter.
"The court does not believe any of these seven defendants will flee, nor is it likely they will commit another offense," Polster wrote. "None of the defendants has any prior record, and each was involved in only one of the religiously-motivated attacks."
A jury convicted a total of 16 Amish men and women last month in connection with the beard- and hair-cutting attacks, which prosecutors said targeted perceived enemies in neighboring Amish communities southeast of Cleveland.
Seven defendants, including Amish bishop Samuel Mullet, have been held in jail since their arrests last November.
Those allowed to remain free are: Freeman Burkholder, Anna Miller, Linda Shrock, Lovina Miller, Kathryn Miller, Emma Miller, and Elizabeth Miller.
Polster, however, revoked the bonds of defendants Lester Miller and Raymond Miller.
Polster said he agreed with prosecutors that the law required them to be jailed because they were convicted of crimes of violence, and potentially face many years in prison.

PALMER – Police Chief Robert P. Frydryk was awarded recently with the 17th annual Phil Hano recognition award from the Western Massachusetts Police Chiefs Association.
Frydryk, past president of the association, said he was "surprised" and "very honored" to receive the award.
"There are many chiefs in the past that have received the award that I have respect for and I'm honored to be included in their ranks," Frydryk said, naming chiefs such as Northampton's Russell P. Sienkiewicz, retired Greenfield Police Chief David Guilbault, and retired Longmeadow Police Chief Richard Marchese.
The award is named after Phil Hano, who was a founding member of the Western Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association Gold Badge membership.
The award is presented to an active member of the association who, through his or her actions and contributions, "truly reflects and supports the objectives of the association in providing support and fellowship to our members and the best possible service to our communities," according to information provided about the award.
Frydryk has worked for the Palmer Police Department for 33 years, the last 15 as chief.

So who is responsible?
This has huge implications for software vendors and maintainers. If the FBI succeed in their case, Microsofts promotion of Vista as their most secure os to date must leave them wide open to lawsuits from users who believe these claims enough to not add 3rd party security products and subsequently find their pcs are now parts of giant botnets.[ reply to this | link to this | view in thread ]

Glad I didn't stay on that Unisys contract. Looks like they were even more problematic than just how they screwed me.
Your tax dollars at work.[ reply to this | link to this | view in thread ]
Steven Ashley, Sep 29th, 2007 @ 5:53pm
Defense Department Incapable Of Maintaining Securi
By having the FBI investigate (blame) Unisys, is the U.S. Defense Department admitting here, that they are technically incapable of setting up and maintaining security standards on their own computers, and they rely on contractors to set, and maintain the security standards. If that is the case, we all need to be afraid, very afraid.
These are the same people responsible for maintaining the security around our Nuclear Arsenal. What happens the next time Chinese hackers access Defense Department computers, could make 9/11 look like an Ice Cream Social.

I had the most simple lunch on Sunday.
I beat two eggs, and added some of the left over basting sauce from the red cooked chicken I had made twice, in the preceding week. Now this is a rich mixture of soy sauce, some kitual treacle, and of course light chicken stock, since the red cooked chicken, has cooked in it. Ha!
Then a little Thai red chili sauce, which comes in the squeeze bottle, a quick fold over in the skillet. I topped it with scalded Chinese cabbage, and more hot sauce.
I was happy.

Urchin Howl by Chris McClean - The first Instagram surf movie
A Surfing video by thesurferspath - 7,182 views
An experimental movie project by UK film maker Chris McClean who released a 15 second clip onto Instagram every day for a week, just cos he could. Here's the whole crazy movie spliced into one. Says Chris: "So here we go… kinda defeats the object of the project, but I'll be the first to admit watching it in 15 second bursts is pretty awkward. So here in one seamless movie. Music - https://soundcloud.com/cj-mirra/urchin-howl-instasurphaedit Chris McClean, Lewis Arnold and for the music CJ Mirra. ©seasawfilms.com | 9th September 2013 Thank you."

Research news
Most of us are acutely aware of the limitations of current in silico methods for predicting genes in the human genome. In the May issue of Nature Biotechnology, Saurabh Saha and colleagues at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions describe an experimental approach for gene discovery and genome annotation (Nature Biotechnology 2002, 19:508-512). The method is an adaptation of the SAGE (serial analysis of gene expression) technology developed in the Vogelstein/Kinzler lab at Johns Hopkins. Compared to SAGE, the new 'LongSAGE' method uses a different type IIS restriction endonuclease (called MmeI) to create longer 21 base-pair 'tags', and the longer tag length should allow unique assignment to genomic loci. Saha et al. analysed 28,000 transcript tags expressed by a colon cancer cell line and found that the majority could be uniquely assigned and many of the remaining corresponded to duplicated sequences. They provide experimental evidence for the expression of 'hypothetical' genes - genes that have to date been predicted solely by in silico methods. Hundreds of the tags mapped far from known genes, and these may represent undiscovered transcripts. Mining of databases of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) confirmed that several of the LongSAGE tags correspond to uncharacterized genes. The authors suggest that large-scale LongSAGE analysis will provide a rich source of information for future gene-discovery and genome-annotation efforts.

For years I have been studying the motives and behaviors associated with white-collar crime. Last week my students and I debated the Raj Rajaratnam case. Besides debating the potential length of his sentence, we were curious to know what Mr. Rajaratnam would face in prison. Where will he go? What is the food like? Will he be locked in a cell? My research has put me in touch with a number of formerly incarcerated white-collar offenders. One of them is Justin Paperny. This morning after hearing of Mr. Rajaratnam's 11-year sentence I asked Justin to provide some insight into what he could expect in prison.
As Kelly mentioned I have experience with the justice system. A few years ago I awaited sentencing for a securities fraud conviction. That conviction exposed me to a potentially devastating prison term. In the end, my judge ordered that I serve an 18-month sentence. Although far less than what I could have received, it was enough to shake my world. With the notoriety that Mr. Rajaratnam received, coupled with the extensive amount of loss the government alleged in the case, I am not surprised that his judge imposed a term that exceeded 10 years.
Because his sentence exceeds 10 years, I don't think he will have the privilege of serving his term inside a minimum-security federal prison camp. Those types of facilities offer much less volatility than secure prisons. The men who serve time inside the federal prison camps generally have a higher level of education and they do not have histories of violence. Although I would not call the camps Club Fed, as many mistakenly refer to them, they are far less disruptive to one's life than the types of secure prisons that confine prisoners with release dates that stretch much farther into the distance.
My expectations are that he will likely serve his sentence inside a low-security prison. If he uses New York City as his release address, the chances are quite good that prison authorities from the Bureau of Prisons will designate him to begin serving his sentence inside the fences of the federal prison at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
Although I was never confined in Fort Dix, I know something about it. During my time in federal prison, while preparing for my career as a prison consultant, I had an opportunity to learn from Michael Santos. He was a long-term prisoner who wrote extensively about the eight years he served inside the Fort Dix Federal Prison. Recently, I asked Mr. Santos what Mr. Rajaratnam could expect if he were sent inside those Fort Dix fences.
The Fort Dix federal prison is located on an extensive military base. The red brick buildings where prisoners reside were once used to house Army personnel. The Bureau of Prisons acquired the property sometime during the 1990s in an effort to meet the need for its massively growing prison population. It erected doublewide fences, capped them with glistening razor wire, and for the sake of security, it strung numerous coils of concertina wire between the two fences.
The Fort Dix prison complex is large, divided into three separate compounds. Two of the compounds are for low-security prisoners, and an adjacent compound houses minimum-security prisoners. The low-security prisons, where Mr. Rajaratnam will likely serve his time, include six separate housing units. Each of the housing units has three stories and they hold several hundred prisoners in each. The men use common bathrooms that offer little in the way of privacy. They sleep on steel bunk beds, with up to 18 men in a single dormitory style room. They wait in line to use telephones and have access to 300 telephone minutes each month except for November and December, when they have access to 400 minutes in recognition of the holiday season. They have more access to a quasi email system that allows them to stay in touch with people in society. All in all, Mr. Santos says, Fort Dix is a good place to serve time. It requires personal discipline, and clearly, a man of Mr. Rajaratnam 's accomplishments is no stranger to discipline.
Summoning up his world-class discipline will help ensure he does not capitulate to our warped system of corrections. Too many white-collar offenders walk into prison boundaries and serve time by the hour. They wait for the next meal, for mail delivery, for bingo, for the Kardashian sisters' TV shows, for football season and so on. My biggest concern for Mr. Rajaratnam is ensuring that he has the humility necessary to interact with the other prisoners with whom he must share tight living spaces. In Lessons From Prison I share some of the consequences that follow when prisoners choose arrogance over humility. For many it is just too tough to let go of the life they once had.
As a low-security prison, those in Fort Dix will have release dates that extend as far away as 20 years into the future. Many of the men will have histories of violence. He will live among a small contingent of well-educated businessmen, but the majority of his confreres will have conducted their business dealings in the streets—not Wall Street, but the streets of Newark and Harlem and the South Bronx. As such, Mr. Rajaratnam will need to use all of his well-learned politics to maneuver his way around the trenches inside the Federal Correctional Institution at Fort Dix. In other words, before engaging in the prison hustle or before he seeks to manipulate our system of corrections, he'd be wise to understand his environment.
He may choose to avoid the culinary cuisine that prison workers prepare. Instead of eating in the chow hall, rules will authorize him to purchase about $300 worth of tuna, rice, beans, chips, and other fine foods from the commissary each month. The food will be a far cry from the thick steaks of Morton's, but somehow, Mr. Rajaratnam will find that it's enough. His health may keep him from one of the tougher jobs on the compound, but he'll work, making around $15 dollars a month. He'll visit weekly in a room that is reminiscent of an airport cafeteria. In that visiting room he'll feast on vending food cuisine such as stale wheat thins, slices of cheesecake and soft drinks bought with rolls of quarters his visitors brought in. I suggest that he uses his time inside to improve his fitness level through extensive exercise. He may also create meaning in his life by teaching classes that help other prisoners advance their skills, or by using his experience to educate future leaders on the consequences that follow when one embraces a cunning, Machiavellian approach to business.

Agreed. losing a tenured professorship at non doctorate level whose only qualification is in a language or god forbid, first year level writing or math might as well be a death sentence in current times. It's the difference between prosperity, and spending the rest of your natural days saying "you want fries with that burger?"

It's ridiculous to think that being unable to carry means you are going to die. People carry for the most unlikely scenario, because they can. There are other things to consider before you just start shooting.

yes it is true, But in a situation where someone walks in to someplace to kill someone or to injure them. But it is at a company whos policy is... no one is armed and do you believe in a situation like that, is your job probably the most important thing on your mind at that moment?

Eh, I can't carry at work either and, really, not having it is not the worst thing in the world.
Am I a bit more aware when I leave the building after a night I have to close? Yup, I even quick step to my car if my "spidey sense" starts tingling Not really worried about being in the building without a weapon, plenty of items I use daily can suffice if needed - letter opener, bug spray, pen/pencil, yardstick, chair, heavy book (can double as body armor/shield) - if it is necessary, darn near anything in your immediate surrounding can be utilized as a weapon.

While getting killed is about the worst outcome that can occur, it is still a very very rare event. Perhaps not accepting a job in a place that increase the odds would be a better option than risking destroying your ability to support and care for your family. I have had jobs that involved real danger of death. I survived, but no longer am willing to take on those jobs. I have a wife and family to support. It paid very very well. |

A pharmacist I know tells a story. His father, also a pharmacist, shot and killed a junkie who was robbing his personally owned community pharmacy. These really used to exist, until the corporate model took over the pharmacy business completely. His father, IIRC, eventually sold the place. Now, son works in a high position for a hospital in the pharmacy department, and chose that field specifically because he didn't want to kill junkies.

I don't work anymore because of my back injury but if I did, I would carry regardless of what policy was.

" Remember two things:
1. Your workplace, including the parking lot, is private property and the owner of said property makes the rules. " If the store is in a shopping mall / strip mall where parking is accessible to all, I doubt a specific store can make the rules for everyone. If having a gun in a common parking lot is legal for customers, it is legal for everyone since the store really does not own / or specifically rent the lot. There are state / federal laws and there are company generated " laws " . The " company laws " may or may not have any real world enforceability. If the OP parked across the street, could the store still search their car? Doubt it. How about if he took a taxi or bus, would the bus be subject to search after he got on it? ( yes I know he would not be leaving a gun in the bus when coming to work. ) And just who would be performing this search? Can the employer trash the car in the process of the search? ( Like a border check point where they literally tear the car apart if drugs are suspected. ) What if the employee didn't have the key to a glove box, truck cap or interior mounted lock box , would the store tear the car apart? Say the store calls the police,could the police do a warrantless search? |

You guys must have some amazing jobs.
I am not assuming that today is the day that I will need a gun to defend myself. I know the stats, too, and I agree that it's like the odds of getting hit by a meteor.
However, I can promise you that my wife and kids want me to live. More than that, they want me to ensure that THEY live. As someone who's survived a few gunfights, I will not willingly go unarmed at the rick of losing my job. It's a job, not my life. For the poster who lost his job and wishes he died? Dude, really? You must have had the greatest job in the world, and your life outside of work must just suck. |

There are those who are armed in violation of policy for reasons based on a horrible experience after which they vowed never to be unarmed and helpless again. They feel they owe it to themselves and loved ones to stay alive---even if it means looking for another job. Only governments run by left wing, progressive, gas bag liberals would, and do, disarm people and make them choose going to jail or to the hospital or morgue. Just my thoughts on the matter.

the loss of a job affects more than just you. it affects your family. the poster who wished he had died may have lost his family, and or their trust and respect, and or visitation rights to see his children because of how he lost said job. To some that can be devastating, to others they hold life above all else...its all relative to what is most important to you. weight the risks vs rewards, many decisions in life can be put into this simple concept and if you can look at ALL possible outcomes usualy one choice becomes clear...to the eyes of the beholder (all choices made may not be the same, because different views amongst people)
if you can step back and look at situations objectively in regards to risk vs reward you should do pretty well in the end. example: carry or not to carry at work. Carry at work loss of job if discovered if you loose job how easy is it to replace ect less risk of loss of life at work family unit stay whole, unless loss of job tears apart family. Carry in car less chance of being found (unlikely they will search) if robbed in store gun in car is useless car is safer but what if its stolen of broken into...when the police report is filed and the employer notices a firearm on the missing stuff inventory they can terminate... leave it at home more risk of loos of life at work almost zero risk to terminate based on carry principle, they can still fire you cause you suck at you job... family still supported. there are many variables and outcomes each with its own possible set of outcomes and variables from there. try to determine what all these are and weight them against what risks are associated with them and determine the best course of action(for you). There is a whole hell of a lot of thinking invloved but you should be able to come up with a choice at the end. I try to do this all the time but it requires one to slow down and be more deliberate, which at 25 is hard to do sometimes.
To sum it up: Somewhere there is a TRUE BELIEVER training, he will not stop in his mission, he knows only the cause. What have you done today? For your brothers at arms, friends, family, your country, yourself? |

Carrying on base means JAIL, not FIRED
Federal property my friend. I will not risk JAIL and carry illegally there. I willingly risked getting FIRED by carrying in places where it was "not allowed by corporate policy". WAAAAYYY different.
I am not a small man, but I would be currency in prison. I can get another job. I said I DO NOT carry on base (unless of course I'm carrying in the line of duty) but I carried all the time at previous jobs where it wasn't "allowed". The restaurant and movie theaters I worked at were not going to toss me in prison for carrying against their BS policy. |

unless your vehicle is subject to search as a condition of employment.
Then op sec is mandatory. Keep your mouth shut about what may or may not be in your car. And never allow your employer to search it. It's always a smart idea to mount a security safe in your car under a seat to hold any valuables you may have while it sits in parking. |

Sphawley, . . . my employer said we could have them in our vehicles if we were going to a range after work.
I went often enough to make it work. But, . . . . and this is the important part, . . . . every time I got in my vehicle, I was armed, . . . and that is especially important when you are going back to a building that has been standing unoccupied for the day. I never really worried about the "stop and rob" or other scenarios "on the way home" so to speak. My worst fear was to come home to a burglary in progress and interrupt an armed intruder. Fortunately it never happened, . . . but that is still a good 33% of the reason I carry. Your best advice is simply call up a lawyer, . . . make an appointment, . . . ask him flat out what the Nevada law says, . . . and follow it. May God bless, Dwight

Right wing governments have been known to disarm the general population, too. What you rarely have are progressive governments. However, I only suggest obeying the law. It will astound your friends.

Every job I've ever had has had a rule against carrying weapons to work, and included the parking lot in the definition of "work." That's been a lot of years. Not one time in 40 something years, has an employer EVER asked to search my vehicle. I have never heard of any of my fellow employee's being asked to allow their vehicle to be searched. Not once.
I'd put the gun in the glove box and lock the doors and go on about my business. If you're worried that someone will break into your car, put a lock box in the car. Then lock the car and go on about your business. Not asked? Don't tell. Now if you happen to work for someone who routinely searches vehicles, take a different approach.

This is maddening, and I will have to leave it you
smarter folks than me.
I am active duty, and I work on base. I won't carry there because A: I have access to weapons/ammo at work. B: It is a felony to bring my CCW on base. Before I joined, (I was 24 in boot camp) I worked in several jobs that "did not allow" me to have a gun on my person. I did it anyway. I do not feel defenseless without a gun, but I do recognize the limitations of unarmed defense. For those of you who refuse to carry because you don't want your boss angry at you: that's crazy. For those of you who carry in defiance of company policy, I applaud you. As for providing for my family, I do so very well, thank you very much, and have every confidence that I could continue to if I were fired from my current gig. Since this is such a difficult and foreign concept to some of you, I politely bow out. Last edited by steveracer; October 27, 2011 at 08:07 AM. |

firearms at work
To let ALL of you know, if you work at ANY type of chemical plant, refinery, or something like those, 911 stopped you from being able to carry anywhere, on your person or in your vehicle, ANYWHERE on the company property! It is not a matter of their choice or rules, it's National Security Law.

People have come to define honesty and integrity however it fits their behavior. They justify dishonesty by whatever reason compelled them to be dishonest and will still claim integrity. Yes, we're all dishonest. Yes, we all sometimes lack integrity. Some of us admit it and try harder. Others justify it. |

Quietly having a superb season, Rickie Weeks on Monday hit his 21st homer to help the Brewers beat the Reds 3-2.
The two-run shot in the bottom of the third also gave Weeks a 10th straight game with a run scored. It's the fourth longest any player has had this season.
1. Rafael Furcal – 12 – Ended July 6
2. Martin Prado – 11 – Ended June 6
2. Andres Torres – 11 – Ended July 9
4. Rickie Weeks – 10 – Ongoing
5. Jose Bautista – 9 – Ended May 21
5. Torii Hunter – 9 – Ended May 23
5. Cameron Maybin – 9 – Ended April 15
5. Sean Rodriguez – 9 – Ended June 12
5. Rickie Weeks – 9 – Ended June 28
As you see, Weeks was also in the top 10 with a nine-game streak. It goes along with what I wrote back on April 22: Weeks just has a knack for finding home plate.
Weeks has already set new career highs in homers and RBI (66) this season. He's not the basestealer he used to be and he may frustrate from time to time with his strikeouts, but he's been an extremely valuable player at the top of the Brewers' order.

A nice story and a great performance; however, I am wondering where is the Jose Bautista hit his 28th home run headline.

He's been on fire this year. No joke, every time the team needs a hit he'll get one. Matt forgot to note something too, his 21st homer was hit 450 feet to dead center..just crushed. He loves the leadoff homers too.

The lack of steals is related to hitting in front of Hart, Braun and Fielder. You just don't want to make many outs while those guys are at the plate.

"I think it's probably a positive," Shields said. "In terms of reality, the buyback authorization for a company that's going to be flush with cash for a long time basically serves as a floor to the shares." Shields said the timing of the new repurchase announcement was a bit odd because it appeared like Berkshire was increasing the limit to 120 percent, so it could buy out the longtime shareholder. Berkshire owns roughly 80 subsidiaries, including insurance, clothing, newspaper, and jewelry firms, but more than half the company's profits typically come from its utility, tool, railroad, manufacturing and chemical companies. It has major investments in such companies as Coca-Cola Co., Wells Fargo & Co. and IBM. ___ Online: Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:

Martyr (EP)
by Depeche Mode
Nov 2006
Originally titled "Martyr for Love," the Mode chose to leave this track off their excellent Playing the Angel opus, saving it for the 2006 Greatest Hits package. It's vintage top quality Mode, but the remixes are where it's at, particularly Booka Shade's insanely groovy dub interpretation. Paul Van Dyk's reliably massive big room re-rubs also work, and as a bonus there's a tremendous remix of "Personal Jesus" by Boys Noize. Reach out and touch faith.

The Last Cult Picture Show
Bowling and movie culture collide in the cult of 'the Big Lebowski.' What, you didn't know? That's the whole idea.
By Steve Palopoli
SAYING Bill Whitbeck is a fan of The Big Lebowski is like saying the pope is a little bit Catholic. He estimates he's seen the Coen brothers' 1998 film somewhere in the ballpark of 100 times--that's right, one-zero-zero times--and that's barely the tip of the iceberg. See, this isn't some Star Wars nerd painting his face out of tragically misguided puppy love for The Phantom Menace. This is true devotion.
"My degree of obsession," says Whitbeck, "is that at my funeral I would like to have an actor who looks sort of like Walter come out and give the eulogy about Donny, using the actual name Donny. Totally out of context, totally ridiculous. People in my family would be going, 'What the hell is this all about?' But one or two guys would be whispering, 'That's really funny.' 'Donny who loved bowling'--that would be my eulogy."
If you've never seen The Big Lebowski, you should know that the scene Whitbeck's talking about--in which John Goodman, as high-strung Vietnam vet Walter Sobchak, delivers a eulogy for 'Donny who loved bowling' while Jeff Bridges, as his best friend and bowling partner, Jeff Lebowski, far better known and from now on to be referred to only as the "Dude," looks on--is not one of the better-known scenes in this film. It is not even in the Top 20 most-quoted scenes in a movie that is so religiously quoted its screenplay has become a kind of secret code among fiercely devoted fans.
And yet Whitbeck wants it for his eulogy, just to get a chuckle out of the two or three people who'll know and love the movie enough to appreciate the joke. If you'd be one of them, you're probably just twisted enough that you're thinking right now about stealing his idea. Even more likely, you're part of a growing legion of militant fans who aren't afraid to bowl a couple of games, tip a White Russian--the Dude's favorite drink--and keep adding to a never-ending vocabulary of quotable lines in the name of Lebowski.
If so, congrats--you've earned yourself a founding share in the transformation of the Coens' previously unheralded masterpiece from a critically bashed and fiscally disappointing follow-up to their surprise hit Fargo to either the last great cult film of the 20th century or the first great cult film of the 21st, depending on how you look at it.
Obviously You're Not a Golfer: Five things you didn't know about 'The Big Lebowski.'
The Dude Speaks: His Dudeness goes on record.
The Endangered Cult
The fact that a broad range of movie lovers from college students to musicians to Tony Hawk and his skating buds (who have been seen ditching skating events to go bowling, drinking White Russians and tossing out references all the way) lays claim to true ownership of The Big Lebowski fandom speaks to how meaningless the concept of a "cult movie" has become and how desperate hard-core movie fans are to find a film that has special meaning to them, a meaning they can only understand because of who they are and what they bring to it. A movie that defines their identity even as they continue to define its identity by uncovering new layers of ideas and beauty and sharing them with the rest of the truly devoted.
Back in the heyday of the cult film, there were plenty of such movies to go around. The concept caught on in the early '80s, both as a salute to older movies like Freaks, Night of the Living Dead and Plan 9 From Outer Space that had developed a rabid following in revival theaters and film societies over the years and as a way to describe the appeal of newer movies like Taxi Driver, Altered States and Basket Case that were rejected as too weird or disturbing by many mainstream moviegoers but worshipped by a select few.
The first and last word in cult movies, though, was The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It had everything that the term had come to mean, in spades: Rejected completely by critics and mainstream audiences as an artistic atrocity in its initial release, it fed off an underground army of relentless midnight-movie fans until it became a true phenomenon, the Star Wars of the true freaks. Rocky Horror fans had more complicated rituals and secret rules than the freakin' Freemasons, and it's still considered the ultimate cult movie.
Another defining moment for this movie-fan movement was the publication of Danny Peary's book Cult Movies in 1981. Still the best thing ever written on the subject (along with its two sequels), the book listed the Top 100 cult films at the time, from Orson Welles' Citizen Kane to John Waters' Pink Flamingos.
Cult Movies also carried an explanation in the foreword that would turn out to be more critical than Peary could have imagined: "The typical Hollywood product has little potential for becoming a cult favorite because it is perceived by everyone in basically the same way. ... Although Gone With the Wind and Star Wars have fanatical followings, I have not included them, because they are still distributed with the intention of attracting the masses rather than devotees on the fringe of the mass audience; the word cult implies a minority,, and the studios are well aware that Gone With the Wind and Star Wars still attract the majority of the movie audience."
What happened over the next two decades, however, is that cult movies became so cool (and such potential cash cows in the profit-recycling world of home video) that every studio wanted one--and was willing to spend millions to get it.
Meanwhile, mainstream audiences became so hypersavvy that offbeat movies like David Fincher's Se7en or The Blair Witch Project, which once would have been relegated to cultdom, became massive, overhyped hits. Even low-budget filmmakers were churning out ready-made weirdness like Liquid Sky or camp like Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-o-Rama, all of them so self-aware of their cult potential they made you wince.
Even David Lynch, the definitive cult director who had delivered Eraserhead and Blue Velvet, was pandering to slightly interested mall bunnies by 1990 with the cult-lite of Wild at Heart. Quentin Tarantino, who managed one of the only true cult films of the '90s with Reservoir Dogs, quickly went on to blockbuster Hollywood success with Pulp Fiction.
'Big' Surprise
With the cult-movie phenomenon losing steam as hip audiences turned films that would have once been on the fringe into monster mainstream hits, no one really imagined The Big Lebowski would score a second chance. It had gotten some nice buzz during production, but what the world was expecting at the time was a movie that would build on the new bankability director-writer-producers Joel and Ethan Coen had cornered with their Oscar-winning hit film Fargo. Rumors were going around that their new film was something about bowling and that Steve Buscemi was returning--that certainly sounded funny. Like Raising Arizona's easily accessible kind of funny.
But the world at large just wasn't ready for The Big Lebowski. It quickly fell off the pop-culture radar at the time of its release, dismissed by many critics as confusing, overly complicated and in general a massive artistic failure for the Coens, who were more used to being the darlings of reviewers searching for cred with the indie crowd.
Things were looking just as bleak at the box office. Released on March 8, 1998, The Big Lebowski opened to a paltry $5.5 million at the box office, far behind the $16.8 million debut of U.S. Marshals and even further behind the $20 million-plus that Titanic pulled in its 12th week. Lebowski even finished behind the other two major openings of the week, the now-forgotten Twilight and Hush. It would go on to barely make back its meager $15 million budget in theaters, earning far less than Fargo despite the fact that it cost twice as much as the previous Coens film and had a wider distribution.
But a few of those who did see The Big Lebowski in its short theatrical run saw something they liked in its weird crime-comedy plot, which smashed the conventions of classic Raymond Chandler Los Angeles noir into the ethos of modern slackdom as exemplified by Bridges' note-perfect delivery of the Dude. The visual design is the Coens' most extravagant and downright amazing ever, especially the Busby Berkeley-type musical dream sequence in which a dancing Dude woos Maude Lebowski (Julianne Moore) to the tune of Kenny Rogers and the First Edition's "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)."
And like all of the best cult films, the movie seems exponentially funnier with each viewing--it grows on you like probably no other film of the last 10 years (or, more specifically, since 1992's Glengarry Glen Ross). Hard-core fans find themselves quoting only the more obvious lines upon their first few viewings--"Shut the fuck up, Donny," say, or "There's a beverage here" or "Mark it zero"--before eventually picking up more and more comic nuances in the dialogue until the whole movie seems worthy of constant reference.
"Every line is quotable. The dialogue is so great," says Whitbeck. "Now, a lot of times, we'll try to pick up on even more subtle lines that sort of repeat themselves or whatever, or commenting on this shot or that shot. We're laughing--how could you not--but taking it apart a little, too."
It helps that the movie has a weird circular structure in which the little snippets of dialogue Whitbeck is talking about are initially said by one character and later repeated by another in an entirely different context--usually by the Dude, who spends much of the movie unconsciously parroting other characters in his subtle, almost Zen-channeling way.
The Tao of Dude
What am I talking about, "almost?" Hell, the Dude is Zen, in his own pin-monkey, rent-dodging way. You think I'm joking, but if you don't believe me, maybe you'll believe the venerable Spirituality & Health magazine, which was moved to describe the Dude thusly in a write-up on the movie:
"The Dude lives in a rundown bungalow in Venice, Calif., smokes pot and is unemployed. His ability to live in the present moment without any concern for the future arouses the ire of other, achievement-oriented Californians. ... Once the Dude gets involved in a kidnapping case, his life swirls in chaos. But he is unperturbed by it all. Like a good Taoist, the Dude realizes that freedom is understanding we are not in control and never will be. By taking it easy, the Dude abides and becomes a spiritual teacher of crazy wisdom."
Wow! Could the Dude be any more Zen? I think not. But in any case, anything that could be said to wrap up this tale of the indelible legacy of the Coen brothers' cult masterpiece and the ever-expanding awareness of the Dude has already been said--by Sam Elliott as the Stranger at the end of the film itself:
"The Dude abides. I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there, the Dude, takin' her easy for all us sinners. Shoosh. I sure hope he makes the finals. Welp, that about does her, wraps her all up. Things seem to've worked out pretty good for the Dude and Walter, and it was a purty good story, dontcha think? Made me laugh to beat the band ... parts, anyway."

On Hold In Leona Davis Boylan's landmark "Spanish Colonial Silver" (Museum of New Mexico Press,1974), there is illustrated a similar silver water pot. This rare example is uncovered and measures approximately 3-3/4 inches (9-1/2 cm) high and seven inches (18 cm)in diameter at the handles, with a weight of 271 grams. It is offered in "as-found" condition, although to my eye the marks of time only make the piece more appealing. However, for the more fastidious the bumps can easily be planched out. Andean, late Seventeenth Century to early 18th Century. |

Any Drawback To Getting A 2 Year Contact For The iPad?
Is there any drawback to signing up for a 2 year contact for the iPad? Granted, the most obvious one is being locked into something for 2 years. Most cellular companies want a part of your life, two years at a time. I figure this one will be around for at least a couple of years so it might not hurt to get the $100.00 discount while getting a plan that I would have anyway. What do you think?

Does the 2 year contract require you to have a data plan on the iPad every month? If so, it may not be worth it. If you just buy the cellular iPad, you can turn it on when you'd like to use it and not be forced to have it on every month.
If you have a question about my post, quote me so I am notified and can easily reply to you. |

Yes, a data plan is required. I'm going with the LTE iPad because I like the freedom to have a connection where ever I am and not have to rely on WiFi. One of the press releases about it -
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57547561-94/at-t-shaves-$100-off-ipad-with-two-year-contract/ One thing that I don't know is what happens if I get rid of this version in 12-18 months. The discount is only $100.00 so the fee can't be that much.

It's always nice to save $100, you just have to ask yourself if you plan to use LTE every month. If you are one of those users who use the iPad mostly at home or are in a city with lots of free wifi spots...and rarely use cellular, it might not be.
I am grandfathered into AT&T's unlimited data plan for the first gen iPad. I will transfer it to the iPad mini when I get it. It's worth it for me cause I use the cellular service on the train commute to work every day. I ditched my cell phone over a year ago and make free VoIP cAlls and texts on my iPad. The mini will be even better as a phone replacement since its not much larger than some of the new smartphones out there. I tested it at the apple store, and the mini fits into my back jeans pocket or coat pocket very easily. Take THAT greedy telecom companies! :-) |

I called AT&T to get the scoop about what would happen if I sell the iPad 12 months down the road. The fee would be pro-rated so I'd have to pay $50.00. I'll probably have this one around for awhile so it will be worth it for me. Between the discount and picking it up at a store in a state that doesn't have sales tax, I'll save just over $150.

Aside from it being a two year contract? I think that IS the drawback.

Detailed Description:
Hyponatremia, has become increasingly recognized as a cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized children. The main etiology of hyponatremia in these children has been attributed to the use of hypotonic maintenance IV fluids. The practice of providing IV solutions containing 20-30 mmol/L of Na is based on "physiological needs" proposed by Holliday and Segarin 1957, derived from studies of 61 adults and children. The presence of non-physiologic ADH secretion in the great majority of hospitalized children due to nausea, stress, pain, and surgical interventions, has confirmed that Holliday and Segar's recommendations are frequently inappropriately applied. To avoid the development of hyponatremia, it has been suggested that isotonic 0.9% NaCl/dextrose 5% should be the standard maintenance IV solution.
The routine use of an isotonic maintenance fluid solution has not yet been studied, and concerns exist regarding the potential for hypernatremia and salt and water overload. If isotonic solutions are to be recommended routinely, their overall safety, and specifically the occurrence of dysnatremias and volume overload, should be evaluated in a controlled prospective trial.
